Lyrics


1. CHARLIE BIG POTATO

I awake, from blood thick dreams, washing blame, from my knees,
Softly done, so secretly, I'm awake as charlie sleeps

A lone brother, a lone sister, a home cover, alone

I awake, dry the scream, spit the vile breath, till my tongue bleeds,
Thinks it's all gone, famously, broke the hard girl, good to please

A lone brother, a lone sister, a home cover, alone

Tell it like it is, tell it like it is, tell the sordid truth,
Tell them, tell it like it is, tell them.

A lone brother, a lone sister, a home cover, alone


2. ON MY HOTEL T.V.

Skinny kack para, para dutty dykie nigger,
Sell out whitey liberals who hang with blackie sinners,
Skinny kack para, para dutty dykie nigger,
Sell out whitey liberals who hang with blackie sinners

On my hotel t.v, on my hotel t.v, private hotel t.v,
On my hotel t.v, turn it off

They, they, they, they, who the fuck are they?
You think that your conspiracies are the crux of all my theories
They, they, they, gay, who the fuck is gay?
How dare I have a view & a verscae tattoo

On my hotel t.v, on my hotel t.v, private hotel t.v,
On my hotel t.v, turn it off

I can see, you want this war, there you will find your god
Black black black black black black
White white white white white white

On my hotel t.v, on my hotel t.v, private hotel t.v,
On my hotel t.v, fucking on my t.v, fucking on my t.v, on my hotel t.v, private hotel t.v


3. WE DON'T NEED WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE

Succulent white, secrete revenge, god gives right for you & your laws,
You kill & dine, in cold sublime

God licks your face cos we don't need, who you are,
We don’t need, who you are, cos we don't need, who you think you are

Cute nigger views, in sweet terrain, choke it blind so lame tourist news,
Step back in time, grieving minds
God licks your face cos we don't need, who you are, we dont need,

Who you are, cos we don't need, who you think you are

God licks your face - just like your dog
Starve the minds and drain the face, segregate shit nigga race,
Cry for credible debate, but now them blackies legislate
So leave for anglo-aussie shores, there you'll find your heaven, as we all start again

Cos we don't need, who you are, we don't need, who you are, 'cos we don't need, who you think you are

Starve the minds and drain the face, segregate shit nigger race, but now them blackies legislate


4. TRACY'S FLAW

And when I feel like I'm a victim
I will come running home to you
And I will weep like I will change
When I come running home to you

I'll make you believe that I'm a changed girl
That I'm honest good and pure
Then I'll drag you through my shit again
'Cause I know that you'll love me more
I love how your world adores my gutter mind
This reflection says it all
So now I will let you go my baby
Let you fall

And when I feel like I'm a victim
I will come running home to you
And I will weep like I will change
When I come running home to you

And all of your rosy scarred up wrist bands
Make me crucify you more
With all of your blood encrusted small find
Kiss restraint and it's just cause
So see the survivor in control now
I'm the whore you knew I was
So look at the changed girl good and pure
On Tracy's floor

I'll come running
I'll come running
I'll come running right back to you (x4)

And when I feel like I'm a victim
I will come running home to you
And I will weep like I will change
When I come running home to you

And when I feel like I'm a victim
I will come running home to you
And I will weep like I will change
When I come running home to you


5. THE SKANK HEADS

You have seen me lie,
You have seen me crucify respect,
Seen redundant eyes,
Seen the tension stagger to the mike
Made the bed too high,
Have to slad on matey floors of sin,
Slap the face too sane,
See the face too wet as I, deny - myself, deny

Get off, get off me, get off, get off me, get off, get off me, get off,

Get off me Bet ya posing hard, so secure a smacked up cuntie bitch,
Now you're stuck for words, scrambling for sarcastic wit
But I got that special knowledge, of the crap that makes your skank head tick.
All that brave you like, all that shirty pretence, you deny - yourself deny

Get off, get off me, get off, get off me, get off, get off me, get off, get off me


6. LATELY

Sometimes all the moments
That we savoured for the last,
Get crushed between the good & bad
From pressures we have had
But you know I can't conceive the day
When feeling run too high
To work out all the stale terrain
Emotions try to hide

When I try

Lately I can't seem to colour what we've lost
It all seems like bad means
When lovers turn from lust
Then I try - try to smoke alone

These shattered ties with no compromise
Fall through this fragile hell
The drinks stay sipped 'cos we've lost our grip
Too exhausted to rebel

Then I try

Lately I can't seem to colour what we've lost
It all seems like bad means
When lovers turn from lust
Then I try

When I try...

Lately I can't seem to colour what we've lost
It ... all...seems like bad means when lovers turn from lust (x2)

I try.
Try to smoke alone.


7. SECRETLY

I've been biding my time,
Been so subtly kind,
I've got to think so selfishly,
'coz you're the face inside of me.

I've been biding my days,
You see, evidently it pays,
I've been a friend,
With unbiased views, and then secretly lust after you

So now you feel lusty,
You’re bored and bemused

You wanna do someone else,
So you should be by yourself,
Instead of here with me,
Secretly

Trying hard to think pure,
Bloody hard when I'm raw,
You’re talking out so sexually,
About boys and girls and your silly dreams.

So now you feel lusty,
You’re hot and confused.

You wanna do someone else,
So you should be by yourself,
Instead of here with me,
Secretly

So now you've been busted, you're caught feeling used.

You had to do someone else, you should have been by yourself,
You had to do someone else, you should have been by yourself,
Instead of here with me, secretly,
Secretly,
Secretly.


8. GOOD THINGS DON'T ALWAYS COME TO YOU

Though you're lost in me
You have to see
When things ain't right
Funny memories
Won’t fill this need
When things ain't right.

Safe mistakes I have made
Get burnt up inside my head.
Fatal sees, but never believes
The love that it saved wants death.

Though you're lost in me
You have to see
When things ain't right
Funny memories
Won’t fill this need
When things ain't right

Friends die hard, but lovers conceive.
The vibe that they hold will please
Smothered by sexual needs
The fade as the days goes by.

Some things don't go as you want them to,
Good things they don't always come to you.
No,no,no!
They don't always come to you

Though you're lost in me
Though you're lost in me
Funny memories won't fill this need
When things ain't right

Though you're lost in me
Though you're lost in me
Funny memories won't fill this need
When things ain't right


9. CHEAP HONESTY

know too well
I know these lines
I've seen them smothered
In sleek ridicule

A seedy smile
They think they've scored
But I know morning comes
And babes a

Bridge
Alone again, too alone again

So what can I do
With cheap honesty
You're giving me more than I can see
But I'm too cool to say
That I want it all my way
Get blasted by this sincerity

I wish I had
The streets full view
These people screaming
Through their settled loves

So I pretend
So mellowed out
Too teasing
Weak enough to long for

Home again, loverly home again


10. YOU'LL FOLLOW ME DOWN

Survived, tonight, I may be going down,
'cuz everything goes round too, tight, tonight,
And as you watch me crawl, you stand for more.
And your panic stricken, blood will thicken up, tonight

'Cuz I don't want you, to forgive me,
You’ll follow me down, you'll follow me down,
You’ll follow me down

Survive tonight, (I see your) head's exposed,
So we shall kill, constructive might, its alright,
As your emotions fool you, (my) strong will rule,
And your panic stricken, blood will thicken up, tonight

'Cuz I don't want you, to forgive me,
You’ll follow me down, you'll follow me down,
You’ll follow me down

I won't feel restraint, watching you close sense down,
I can't compensate, that's more than I've got to give.

And your panic stricken, blood will thicken up, tonight
'Cuz I don't want you, to forgive me,
You’ll follow me down, you'll follow me down,
You’ll follow me down
'Cuz I don't want you, to forgive me,
You’ll follow me down, you'll follow me down,
You’ll follow me down


11. AND THIS IS NOTHING THAT I THOUGHT I HAD

I’ve been there and your, frigid wit was far too greasy,
Ain't so slick, and it ain't so damn profound
I’ve been there done that, grilling that sadly sleasy,
Ain't so scared, of your cool so underground

And this is nothing, that I thought I had,
And this is nothing, that I thought I had,
And this is nothing, that I thought I had,
With you, with you, with you

You’ve been here, an' you reckon it was bubble lovie, flirty babe,
Now your thing has run aground.
Still bored here, watch your slithering, so very waxy,
Bass thumps clear, and your bitch won't, make a sound.


12. I'M NOT AFRAID

Another useless fight
Saddened words ring true
Leaving like a saint
Still clouds follow you

I've seen behind your wall of words
You are
Sneaky with the facts
Look who's hiding now
Now I've seen through cracks

Chorus
Still I'm not afraid
Not so dead afraid
No I'm not afraid
Now you've all the light

Beauty’s all you are
(We are) friends for days and eternal nights
Solid head four life
Craving all this might

Chorus

Now you've all the light
Still I feel you by my side (ooh)

Nothing’s useless now,
Friends have always time to try
The safest hands hold me
Now I wander far

Chorus
